Abstract: 451,546. Lens drilling. STEVENS, A. H., 5, Quality Court, Chancery Lane, London.-(Shuron Optical Co., Inc. ; Geneva, New York, U.S.A.) Sept. 17, 1935, No. 25783. [Class 83 (iii)] A lens-drilling machine is provided with work - holding means adapted to grip the opposed refracting surfaces of a lens and such that a hole may be drilled extending midway through the lens and then the work is rotated whereby a second hole may be drilled in the lens from the opposite refracting surface thereof in coaxial alignment with the first hole. Two pairs of gripping jaws 82, Fig. 3, with a clearance space 86 between them for the passage of the drill, are carried in a rotatable sleeve 68 which is connected to a gear wheel 65; the jaws are closed against spring pressure, by wedges 87 which are urged to close the jaws by springs 90 but are held against movement by the stud 97 carried by an arm 95 which is connected by a rod 96 to hand-lever means for operating the jaws. A stop 100, arranged between the jaws, determines the distance a hole is drilled from the edge of a lens and this may be adjusted by rotating an externally screwed sleeve 74 by a hand lever 76 having a zero mark which engages with a fixed graduated plate 78, Fig. 4. A block 47 adapted to slide on guide rods in the base of the machine carries a disc 50 integral with a shaft 51 which is rotatable between stops through 180 degrees by a handlever 52, Fig. 1. The disc 50 is recessed to receive a concave sponge rubber or like holding member 55 which is directly opposite the gripping jaws and serves to support the edge of a lens opposite the jaws. Gear teeth 56 on the edge of the disc 50 engage a toothed wheel 57 on a shaft 58 connected by a gear wheel 64 to the wheel 65 on the jaw-housing sleeve, thus ensuring that the auxiliary gripping member and the jaws rotate in unison through 180 degrees, when the lever 52 is operated. The hand lever 102, Fig. 1, is connected by linkage and cam means so that on rotation, firstly, the jaws are closed then, secondly, the block 47 is moved towards the jaws to grip the lens L between the stop 100, and the rubber member 55, Fig. 16, the block may be locked in the position by a set screw 118, Fig. 1. The belt-driven drilling spindle 5 is fed down to drill a hole halfway through the lens by a hand lever 39, Fig. 1, which is connected by linkage to the spindle which gives a quick approach of the drill to the work and a slow drilling feed. The work is then rotated through 180 degrees by the lever 52 and the drilling completed. A reamer or similar tool R, Fig. 1, held in a chuck on a shaft 22 rotated by the main belt 19 is provided for finishing the drilled holes.

Abstract: 839,553. Cathode ray tubes. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Aug. 24, 1956 [Aug. 27, 1955], No. 25961/56. Class 39(1). [Also in Group XL(c)] A voltage indicating tube comprises an anode within or on the tube envelope coated with fluorescent material, a plurality of filters at least two of which possess different absorption bands arranged on the outer surface of the tube wall so that when a critical voltage input is exceeded, the electron stream spreads over the boundary between two filters of different absorption bands and so produces a colour change. In one form, Fig. 1, in which the voltage simultaneously varies the distance apart and length of two luminescent traces, the luminescent screen 2 is deposited on a transparent conductive wall coating 5 and two filters 3, 3a; 4, 4a having different absorption bands are on the outside of the envelope, the demarcation line between the two filters representing the critical voltage. The filters can be a coloured celluloid strip and can extend the whole length of the indicating filter, e.g. by coating the bulb with a lacquer (1st filter) layer a further filter layer having a different absorption band being placed on top of the lacquer layer, and the end edge of the further layer being at the critical position. The filters are preferably chosen to give two complementary colours respectively and the luminous substance is preferably ZnO which gives a large percentage of white light. In a modification, Fig. 3, the luminous pattern is fan-shaped with a variable shadow angle the filter areas 3, 4 being shaped to give a critical shadow angle at the demarcation between them. The filters are stated to increase the contrast. Several voltage values can be indicated by colour changing points by providing several different colour filters. The device can be used in sound recording to indicate over-modulation.

Title: Improvements relating to the accommodation of the output of steam power plants to different loads thereon
IPC: F01K13/02
Filed: 1933-09-28
Abstract: 429,672. Feedwater and fuel regulation for steam boilers. SIEMENSSCHUCKERTWERKE AKT.-GES., Siemensstadt, Berlin. Sept. 28, 1933, No. 26742. Convention date, Sept. 30, 1932. Drawings to Specification. [Class 123 (ii)] [See also Group XXVI] In steam power plants, particularly those employing forced flow tubulous steam generators, the output of the plant is accommodated to different loads by regulating the servicing of the boiler so that, with a substantially constant throttle opening, the specific volume of the steam is varied to maintain substantially constant the volume of steam flowing from the boiler. For example, in the regulation of a turbo-generating set supplied with steam from a forced flow tubulous steam generator, the turbine and electric generator are designed to give the best efficiency at the basic load. The throttle valve is almost full open at this load and slight variations in load above and below the basic load are compensated by varying the position of the throttle valve by known methods. For large increases of load above the basic valve, the production of steam in the boiler is regulated. The variations in load are detected by variations in speed, or frequency of the plant, or by the use of an output meter or by measuring the variations in pressure on either side of the throttle valve or a baffle plate arranged in the steam pipe. The variation in these valves is employed to control the fuel and air supplies and the pressure and quantity of water fed to the boiler. The fuel only may be adjusted and the air supply controlled to maintain perfect combustion. The temperature of the superheated steam is employed as an additional control to maintain constant the volume of steam leaving the boiler. When the boiler pressure is made to vary directly with the load, a correcting pressure regulator may be employed whereby a device responsive to steam pressure is balanced against the device responsive to load. The plant is provided with means to increase the flow of circulating water in the condenser at high loads. In order to overcome the difficulties that will be encountered in the L.P. stages of the turbine, the steam is tapped and employed for feed heating or driving the auxiliary machines. One auxiliary turbine may be employed to drive a generator supplying current to the motors driving the auxiliaries, whereby the speed of the auxiliaries is proportional to the load on the plant. The electric generator may be cooled either by increasing the flow of air or liquid at high loads or by cooling by refrigerating arrangements wherein brine is cooled and stored during the basic load operations. Coal dust firing for the boiler may be employed during the peak loads, the grinding operation being carried out during basic load operation.
